Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime of Agent/Examiners in the FBI Laboratory
Under 5 U.S.C. § 5545(c)(2), premium pay on an annual basis is authorized for "Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime" where duties of position are of such a nature that they cannot be performed during normal business hours. Whether work performed by agent-examiners in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory is by its nature such as to qualify them for premium pay under § 5545(c)(2) is a question of fact. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored.
